We are extremely pleased to announce the release of Vert.x 4.

## What's new in Vert.x 4?

Vert.x 4 is the evolution of the Vert.x 3.x series that brings [key features](https://vertx.io/blog/whats-new-in-vert-x-4/) to Vert.x.

## From Vert.x 3 to Vert.x 4

Vert.x 4 extends the Vert.x 3 line with a set of new features while providing the same Vert.x 3 experience:
Vert.x 3 users will feel at home with Vert.x 4.

You can learn more about [migrating from Vert.x 3 to Vert.x 4](https://vertx.io/blog/from-vert-x-3-to-vert-x-4/).

## Without the community we are nothing
